the teams still force them to practice 12 hours a day, but most goof off as much as possible beyond that. its the rare few who would rather practice than do almost anything else, giving up free time and what not.
So the majority of them _do_ play starcraft and nothing but starcraft for 12 hours every day?
That's fairly dedicated to me ~~

This is simply a failure of their business model. I understand SC which doesn't bring almost any revenue in, but letting w3 team go just because they set up too high contracts is fucked up.
Anyway, it is a disaster for foreign bw scene
I agree with this their structure was not very smart. You cannot pay someone that much for playing a game. 100k in a year? please.

I'll manage their WC3 team for 30% of their winnings. lol
not a big deal really, its just that there are not so many tournaments for SC outside of korea and even less for WC3. Not to mention that no one actually watches WC3 matches, except mauby final of blizzcon.
Yhough with SC2 on the horizon, i'm sure they will adopt it when it comes out.

wow i didnt thought that it will happend so fast... really sad

and pg died and the foreign scene went on just fine
that was kinda his point
Yeah I agree about the part that this isnt "disaster" or something like that, but its definitely newsworthy. It was the "It is just a team dying, who cares" attitude that made me react, as this isnt the occasional random "money-team", but one of the major teams in the history of the foreign scene.
I dont think anyone wants a monopoly like after pG, and before mYm where all the good players are in ToT, because it kills competition.
Chances are many of the the former mYm members are going to join ToT now though.

Ye I was going to post that too.. like WTF!?!?
The only thing I heard is that Moon got offered $16k a month from KTF. Would be exciting to see moon playing SC for proteam. Freedom did it perhaps moon has chances too. lol at this.. Not exactly weird their downsizing - but strange considering how amazing their W3 team was
Exactly, that's what schocked me the most.
Their Wc3 is and has been TEH SHIT for years and years now.
I though at least they would stay solid for years to come.
I'm really baffled tbh.

When people think of MYM they think of Moon and Grubby.Not anymore.

According to their statement, it has nothing to do with with economical situation. That makes their decission even more strange, Grubby and Moon, man I don't know shit about WC3 scene but I guess they two are one of the best in WC3?
Mark Peter Fries, COO ESNation AS:
"We are in no financial problems what-so-ever and none of our investors have backed out, actually its the opposite way around that 2 months ago we have settled our 3rd investment round and that is signed and sealed and all we do is fitting ourselves to the market. That we lay off people and fire teams is matter of having focus on what we are best at and that we deem the worldwide situation to chaotic to continue the teams as they are. Now that may be a good or bad decision, but I am here to make sure our investors, shareholders (I am one myself) are having a sustainable business, that will live on past whatever the world looks like."

Like said before, SC scene will out live the WC3 scene.. really seems like thats happening.
At least it would if SC2 wasn't coming!
erm... given that the SC and Wc3 squads of MYM were disbanded I think they're about the same as they were before

there is no esport in europe
you guys should know what esport does mean, yeah it's a game, but not just a game.
visit some proteam in Korea or maybe China, then you'll find out
in a real proteam, they live togother, train together, eat together, EVERYDAY, that's called "proteam", that's esport
that's why imo there is no country who can reach Korea at Esport.... because simply one thing: train 12h per day, that's not possible in our countrys

sad
so what teams are they going to join now?
